CompositionGluconorm SR 500 Tablet is used to help control blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes when diet and exercise alone are not enough. It is a single-ingredient antidiabetic medicine containing metformin in a sustained-release form.
Good control helps reduce the long-term risk of kidney, nerve and eye damage. Take it with food in the dose, frequency and duration prescribed by your doctor, and swallow it whole. The sustained-release form may help reduce stomach side effects.
Eating balanced meals at regular times, controlling carbohydrate and sugar intake, staying physically active and checking your blood sugar regularly support better control alongside this medicine.
Before starting, tell your doctor if you have kidney or liver problems, and about all other medicines, supplements or herbal products you take. Report persistent vomiting, rapid breathing or severe muscle pain, as these can rarely be early signs of lactic acidosis (a build-up of lactic acid in the blood). Follow the prescribed dose, frequency and duration, report persistent or serious side effects, and do not stop the medicine unless your doctor advises you to do so.
